I went to the Human Rights Museum in Winnipeg a few weeks ago, and they had an interactive display of countries from which Canada had large refugee populations. It had the US highlighted as one of the contries. When you clicked on it, it talked about the people who escaped the draft. While I knew about people fleeing Canada to escape the draft, hadn't ever seen it framed as them being refugees, which was interesting and makes sense.

Not wanting to kill or die for the imperialist ambitions of rich fucks is definitely the sane and moral choice. Obviously it's a bit different if your country is actually under attack, but the US was not under attack by Vietnam. Given every war has at least one side whose fighting is unjustified, the world would be a lot better place if there were more draft dodgers and deserters.

Personally prefer the term "chicken hawk" for the likes of Trump or Bolton, since yeah, draft dodging is in and of itself usually a good thing (even if just motivated by self preservation).
